A novel triazole derivative 4-(2-hydrobenzylideneamino)-3-(1,2,4-triazol-4-ylmethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione(1) was synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR, and 1H NMR, and its crystal structure was determined via X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. Crystal data: monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a=0.83335(9) nm, b=1.49777(16) nm, c=1.14724(12) nm, β =107.990(2)°, D=1.470 Mg/m3, and Z=4. The geometries and the vibrational frequencies were determined using the density functional theory(DFT) method at the B3LYP/ 6-31G level. To demonstrate the accuracy of the reaction route of compound 1, one of the important intermediates was also tested using the same method. The structural parameters of the two compounds calculated using the DFT study are close to those of the crystals, and the harmonic vibrations of the two compounds computed via the DFT method are in good agreement with those in the observed IR spectral data. The thermodynamic properties of the title compound were calculated, and the compound shows a good structural stability at normal temperature. The test results of biological activities show that it has a certain bactericidal ability.     

Thermal Behavior and Decomposition Kinetics of the Complexes of CuX2 （X=NO3, Br, CI and CIO4） with 3,3＇-Dimethyl-1 -（1 H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl）-2-butanone

The thermal behaviors of the complexes of Cu(DMTZB)4X2 (DMTZB=3,3‘-dimethyl-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanone, X=NO3 or ClO4) and Cu(DMTZB)2 X2 (X=Br or Cl) in a nitrogen atmosphere were studied under the non-isothermal conditions by simultaneous TG-DTG-DSC, EDS and elemental analysis techniques. The resuits showed that their decomposition proceeded in three different ways mainly depending on the anions in the molecules. The heat effect associated with the decomposition step of DMTZB molecules was also different. The decomposition mechanisms and the kinetic parameters of DMTZB were determined and calculated by jointly using four methods, which showed that its pyrolysis was controlled by D3 mechanism but with different activation energies and pre-exponential factors for different complexes.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure of （Z）-1-[2-（Triarylstannyl）vinyl]-1-indanols and Their Arylhalostannyl Derivatives

(Z)-1-[2-(Tri-o-tolylstannyl)vinyl]-1-indanol (1) and (Z)-1-[2-(tri-p-tolylstannyl)vinyl]-l-indanol (2) were synthesized by the addition reaction of 1-ethynylindanol with tri-o-tolyltin and tri-p-tolyltin hydride. The aryl groups in compound 1 and 2 were substituted by Br2 or I2 to yield monohalide derivatives (3-6). The compounds 1-6 were characterized by elemental analysis, ^1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of 1, 2 and 4 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Sn atom in 1 and 2 exhibits a tetrahedral geometry distorted towards trigonal bipyramid due to a weak intramolecular interaction between Sn and the hydroxyl O atoms [0.2839(4) nm and 0.2744(5) nm], while the Sn atom in 4 adopts a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with a significant O→Sn(1) interaction [0.2552(5) nm].     

Studies on Epitaxial Polymerization of 1,3-Bis （3-quinolyl）- 1,4-butadiyne

During investigating what causes the low yield of the polymerization product of 1,4-bis (quinolyl)-1, 3-butadiyne (DQ), we found that the DQ crystals formed on the surface of PDQ cauld be polymerized to give blue crystals, in which DQ could be sublimated and crystallized on the surface of PDQ film. According to the experimental results, the reason why the DQ crystals can be polymerized is that the sublimation of DQ changes the molecular orientation of DQ in the crystal. The crystals formed in epitaxial growth on the surface of DQ or PDQ during sublimation of DQ are suitable for 1,4-addition polymerization.

The Wittig reaction of various alkyl phosphonium bromides with appropriate aldehydes in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide (t-BuOK) in anhydrous THF solution at room temperature served as the key step, and the result showed that only (Z)-configuration olefins were formed by this procedure. The synthesis of the (Z)-5-(trideca-4-enyl)resorcinol (1) was reported for the first time.     

Vibrational Spectroscopic Study of （E）-3-（4-fluorophenyl）-N-[4-（phenylamino） quinazoline-7-yl] Acrylamide

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 2,5-Di- （pyridin-3-yl）-1,3,4-oxadiazolendium Nitrate

In order to continue our studies on the synthesis, properties and coordination of s-tetrazine, 3,6-di-(pyridin-3-yl)-s-tetrazine (II, 3-dptz) was synthesized and characterized by 1H- NMR, MS and IR spectra. And the coordination reaction of 3-dptz with nitrate of Cu(II) was studied. 3-dptz reacting with CuII salt [Cu(NO3)2·2H2O] generates a new salt, nitrate of 2,5-di-(pyridin-3- yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolene (III). III was determined by IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction to give the following crystal data: space group P21/c, a = 4.9112(1), b = 8.4101(3), c = 29.499(1) , β = 93.266(2)o, V = 1216.44(7) nm3, Mr = 287.24, Z = 4, Dc = 1.568 g/cm3,μ= 0.122 mm-1, F(000) = 592, R = 0.0430 and wR = 0.1240. The results show that III is composed of one cation and one nitrate anion. The cation consists of one H+ and one 2,5-di-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol molecule, with the former being attached to the latter via electrovalent bond with N3 atom. And the O(42) atom in the nitrate anion is disordered. Intra- and intermolecular H-bonds are observed in the crystal of the title compound. The mechanism of metal-assisted decomposition was also discussed briefly.
